You can try with the ant-build-system. When you pass a #:jar-name argument, it will create a build.xml script for you. I hope this is enough for your package.

My current focus is the maven-build-system. I'm almost there, but still having some issues that I don't understand well. Once I have it, a gradle build system should be relatively easy to create, because I could reuse many of the things I wrote for maven. Bootstrapping gradle will be very difficult though, mostly because of kotlin, which presents a bootstrapping issue. With a binary kotlin, I'm confident I could build gradle. It'll probably take months if not years to get there (remember I'm working on this since 2018!) so don't count on it too much.

Sorry for the bad news :/
